Therapies
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a part of balneotherapy, where with the help of thermal water and baths the natural strength of the immune system is stimulated. Balneological therapies, such as guided group medical hydrogymnastics, assisted hydrogymnastics in the Hubbard tub, underwater massages, pearl baths, Halliwick and Watsu therapy, are used especially with severe injuries of spinal and locomotor systems and chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints and spine.
Kinesiotherapy: Therapeutic Gymnastics
Kinesiotherapy includes active, assisted and passive therapeutic exercise or mobilisation of joint as well as individual or group therapeutic gymnastics, active relaxation exercises, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), individual prenatal and postnatal exercises, individual exercises of the pelvic floor muscles, group breathing exercises, endurance exercises, proprioception exercises, suspension exercises, functional training, walking and standing school, ball exercises, occupational therapy and neurophysiotherapy (Bobath).
Electrotherapy
The therapy is used for the strengthening of muscles and nerves, and easing pain by means of modern electrotherapy procedures: pain relief therapy (DD, IF, TENS), magnetic therapy and electrostimulation.
Thermotherapy
Thermotherapy improves the mobility of joints and muscles and alleviates pain: mud/fango and paraffin wraps and baths are used for soothing chronic pain of the locomotor system, muscle tension and alleviation of pain. Thermopack gel pads are used to improve circulation, while acute inflammations and injuries are treated by ice gel cooling pads (cryopacks) to soothe the pain, reduce muscle tension and swelling.
Mechanotherapy
Main therapeutic procedures of mechanotherapy include classic manual massage, manual and machine-aided lymph drainage and TRU TRAC.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound involves treatment by high-frequency sound waves, undetectable to the human ear. Ultrasound waves influence minute cells and molecules, stimulating their movement. The mechanic energy passing through tissues is converted into warmth.
Laser
Physiotherapy is often performed by means of a therapeutic laser. This involves low-lever laser beams with wavelength that may fall within the visual or interference field of electromagnetic spectrum. The physiological effects attributed to laser therapy are reduced pain, accelerated healing and fewer micro organisms.
